Tarnish on Gold Line

Re “Gold Line So Far Has Few Takers,” March 8: Of course the use of the Gold Line is poor. Who in Pasadena wants to go to Union Station? What then? A quarter-mile hike to get out of the terminal. The line should have been routed through downtown along Broadway, where the jobs, courts, government offices, entertainment and businesses are.

The same problem awaits the proposed line to East Los Angeles. It should be routed across one of the viaduct bridges through the garment district and connect to the Gold Line on Broadway.

Indeed, who wants to go to Union Station?
